Rihanna and Cara Delevingne are both starring in a new movie called Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Rihanna will be playing an alien stripper, according to CinemaBlend, and Cara will be fighting hordes of extra-terrestrials.
Sounds fun, right?
It’s a movie by Fifth Element director Luc Besson, and he surprised a lot of people when he brought footage of the recently-wrapped film to San Diego Comic-Con, featuring an alien stripper played by none other than Rihanna.
The movie, based on French comic books called Valérian and Laureline, also features Ethan Hawke, Dane Dehaan and Clive Owen. There’s not any footage to be seen from the film online so far, but stalking Luc Besson’s Twitter paints an image of an exciting movie that’ll be a good time for everyone. Especially those of us who want to see Cara in action.
So that’s exciting. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is out July 21, 2017, so if actual aliens don’t invade us before then, at least you’ll have this to look forward to.
Paris Fashion Week is getting a little more provocative. Tom of Finland Foundation presents Packed for Pleasure, a new group exhibition exploring nearly a century of art, desire and censorship—and the creative ways artists have continued to make and share work when society tells them not to.

Before understanding that she could work in fashion, Maria Braz already understood the power of an image. Music videos, movies, magazines, red carpets, shows. Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna. As a child and teenager, she watched, recreated, dressed up, invented characters, and turned her computer into a set for her own productions.
Fashion week, trend fatigue, relationship scheduling, accidental wellness, and the annual September identity crisis. Maybe nothing is wrong with us. Maybe we’ve just been online too long.
Fashion Week is happening, TikTok discovered something that already existed, Mary-Kate and Ashley left the house, and naturally, I have thoughts. Welcome to NOT THAT SERIOUS.
